UNIVERSITY  OF  UTAH. 


The  University  of  Utah  comprises  thorough  collegiate  courses  leading  to  degrees  in  General  Science, 
Liberal  Arts,  and  Mining  and  Electrical  Engineering;  besides  which  a  State  Normal  School  and  a  Preparatory 
School  are  conducted  under  the  direction  of  the  University  Faculty. 

Excellent  opportunities  are  offered  to  students  who  desire  to  pursue  Electrical  and  Mining  Engineering- 
Courses,  and  also  Courses  in  Arts  and  General  Science. 

The  Laboratories  are  thoroughly  equipped  for  work  in  Chemistry,  Assaying,  Electrical  Measurements, 
General  Physics,  Minerallogy,  and  Biology. 

Shops  are  provided  for  work  in  wood  and  metal  for  students  in  Engineering  and  Science  Courses. 

The  Normal  School  offers  a  four  years  course  leading  to  a  certificate  of  graduation ;  and  Advanced  Courses 
leading  to  a  degree  and  a  normal  diploma.  The  certificate  entitles  the  holder  to  teach  in  any  of  the  common 
schools  of  the  State  for  five  vears  without  examination.  The  normal  diploma  is  equivalent  to  a  life  certificate. 

The  Training  School  and  Kindergarten  connected  with  the  Normal  School  are  equipped  in  accordance  with 
the  most  modern  ideas. 

Manual  training  and  laboratory  practice  in  elementary  sciences  are  features  of  the  normal  training  courses. 

The  University  now  occupies  the  magnificent  site  of  sixty  acres,  granted  by  Congress,  and  the  new 
buildings  overlook  the  city  and  the  beautiful  valley  of  the  Great  Salt  Lake. 

The  State  Legislature  of  this  year  (1901)  has  established  the  State  School  of  Mines  in  connection  with  the 
University.  This  will  give  a  great  impetus  to  the  engineering  work  in  the  University. 

This  School  of  Mines  being  situated  near  large  electrical  plants,  gold,  silver,  lead  and  copper  mines,  and 
smelters,  leaching  works  and  mills  employing  the  latest  and  best  methods  used  in  the  reduction  of  metals  from 
their  ores,  offers  greater  advantages  than  most  other  similar  institutions, 

A  small  annual  registration  fee  is  required,  but  no  tuition  is  charged. 

For  further  information  address,  D.  R.  ALLEN,  Secretary.

MUST    PUKsiDKNt  V   OF  THE. CHURCH  OP  JESUS   CHRIST   OF   LATTER-DAY   SAINTS. 


Articles  of  Faith 

Of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints. 


1.  We  believe  in  God,  the  Eternal  Father,  and  in 
His  Son,  Jesus  Christ,  and  in  the  Holy  Ghost. 

2.  We  believe  that  men  will  be  punished  for  their 
own  sins  and  not  for  Adam's  transgression. 

3.  We    believe  that,  through  the   atonement   of 
Christ,  all  mankind  may  be  saved,  by  obedience  to  the 
laws  and  ordinances  of  the  Gospel. 

4.  We  believe  that  the  first  principles  and  ordi- 
nances of  the  Gospel  are:  First,  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ;  Second,  repentance;  Third,  baptism  by  immer- 
sion for  the   remission  of   sins;   Fourth,  laying  on  of 
hands  for  the  gift  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

5.  We  believe  that  a  man  must  be  called  of  God, 
by  "prophecy  and  by  the  laying  on  of  hands,"  by  those 
who  are  in  authority  to  preach  the  Gospel  and  adminis- 
ter in  the  ordinances  thereof. 

6.  We  believe  in  the  same  organization  that  existed 
in  the  primitive  church,  viz.,    Apostles,  Prophets,  Pas- 
tors, Teachers,  Evangelists,  etc. 

7.  We  believe  in  the  gift  of  tongues,   prophecy, 
revelation,  visions,  healings,  interpretation  of  tongues, 
etc. 

8.  We  believe  the  Bible  to  be  the  word  of  God,  as 
far  as  it   is  translated  correctly;  we  also  believe  the 
Book  of  Mormon  to  be  the.  word  of  God. 


9.  We  believe  all  that  God  has  revealed,  all  that 
He  does  now  reveal,  and  we  believe  that  He  will  yet  re- 
veal many  great  and  important  things  pertaining  to  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

10.  We  believe  in  the  literal    gathering  of  Israel 
and  in  the  restoration  of  the  Ten  Tribes.     That  Zion 
will  be  built  upon  this   continent.     That  Christ   will 
reign   personally  upon  the   earth,  and  that  the  earth 
will  be  renewed  and  receive  its  paradisaic  glory. 

11.  We  claim  the  privilege  of  worshiping  Almighty 
God    according    to    the    dictates  of   our    conscience, 
and  allow  all  men  the  same  privilege,  let  them  worship 
how,  where  or  what  they  may. 

12.  We  believe  in  being  subject   to  kings,  presi- 
dents, rulers   and  magistrates,  in  obeying,  |  honoring 
and  sustaining  the  law. 

13.  We  believe  in  being  honest,  true,  chaste,  be- 
nevolent,   virtuous,  and  in  doing  good  to  all  men;  in- 
deed we  may  say  that  we  follow  the  admonition  of  Paul, 
"We  believe  all  things,   we  hope  all  things;"  we  have 
endured  many  things,  and  hope  to  be  able  to  endure  all 
things.    If  there  is  anything  virtuous,  lovely  or  of  good 
report  or  praisworthy,  we  seek  after  these  things.

SKETCH  of 

UTAH  and  MORMONISM. 


By  Orson  F.  Whitney. 


THK   PKOPHET  .lOSKI'H    SMITH. 


T  TTAH  owes  her  existence  to  a  religious  movement  simi- 
lar in  some  of  its  phases  to  thac  which  ]><'<>]i|.<l  the 
shores  of  New  England  with  representatives  of  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  race  and  laid  the  foundation  of  the  mightiest  gov- 
ernment of  modern  times.  No  complete  history  of  the 
United  States  could  be  written  without  some  reference  to 
the  Pilgrims  or  Puritans  who  fled  from  persecution  in  tin- 
Old  World  to  find  religious  freedom  in  the  New.  No 
sketch  of  Utah  would  be  complete,  or  even  possible, 
without  some  reference  to  the  Mormons,  or,  to  give  them 
their  proper  title,  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter- 
day  Saints;  for  it  was  that  Church,  persecuted  in  the  Kast 
and  pausing  midway  in  its  westward  flight  from  Nauvoo 
—its  last  foothold  within  the  confines  of  civilization— 
that  sent  forth  the  Pioneers  who  founded  Utah,  and  has 
ever  since  furnished  the  bulk  of  the  bone  ;uid  sinew  that 
has  built  up  the  State.  Mormon  ism  and  I' tali  are  insepar- 
able themes ;  as  much  so  as  any  coupling  of  cause  and  effect. 


PRESIDENT   BRIGHAM   YOUNG. 


The  founder  of  the  Church  was  Joseph  Smith,  a  native 
of   Vermont,    who,  as  a  boy  of  fourteen,  in  the  forest- 
fringed  districts  of  Western  New  York,  received  visita- 
tions from  on  high,  apprising  him  of  the  apostate  condi- 
tion  of  Christendom   and   authorizing  him   to   establish 
anew  upon   earth  the  true  Church   of   Christ.     His   first 
visitation  was  in  the  spring  of  1820,  when  the  Father  and 
Son  appeared  to  him;  opening  the   new  gospel   dispensa- 
tion.    Subsequently  he  was  visisted  by  an  angel  named 
Moroni,  who  revealed  to  him  the  existence  of  some  golden 
plates,  hidden  in  a  hill  near  the  village  of  Manchester. 
These  plates,  temporarily  entrusted  to  him  by  the  angel, 
were  covered  with  ancient  hieroglyphics,  which  Joseph 
Smith  by  means  of  the  Urim  and   Thummim — also  de- 
livered to  him  by  the  angel — translated,  and  gave  to  the 
world  as  a  result  the  Book  of  Mormon.     It  is  a  record  of 
the  ancient  inhabitants  of  America,  from  the  time  of  the 
Tower  of  Babel  down  to  the  early  part  of  the  fifth  cen- 
tury of  the  Christian  era,  and  is  mostly  a  history  of  a 
people  called  Nephites,  a  branch  of  the  House  of  Israel, 
who,  led  by  Lehi  and  his  son  Nephi,  of  the  tribe  of  Man- 
asseh,  and  followed  by  some  of  the   children  of   Judah, 
came  from  Jerusalem  about  the   year  600  B.  C.  and   peo- 
pled South  and  North  America.     To  these  descendants  of 
Abraham  the  Savior  appeared,  after  His  resurrection,  and 


PKKSIDKNT   JOHN  TAYLOR. 


taught  the  fullness  of  His  Gosj>el,  supplementing  and 
preceding  the  teachings  of  other  prophets,  the  last  of 
whom  was  Moroni,  afterwards  the  angel  custodian  of  the 
golden  plates,  who,  while  yet  a  mortal,  about  420  A.  D., 
hid  them  in  the  hill  from  which  they  were  taken  by 
Joseph  Smith.  This  place  of  deposit  was  called  by  the 
Nephites,  Cumorah.  The  Book  of  Mormon  takes  its 
name  from  Mormon,  the  father  of  Moroni,  who  recorded 
upon  the  plates  the  history  of  his  people,  the  white  pro- 
genitors of  the  dusky  and  degenerate  American  Indians. 
Among  other  angelic  visitants  connected  with  the 
rise  of  the  Latter-day  Church,  was  John  the  Baptist, 
who,  on  May  15th,  1829,  conferred  upon  Joseph  Smith  and 
Oliver  Cowdery  the  Aaronic  Priesthood,  empowering 
them  to  preach  faith  and  repentance  and  to  baptize  by 
immersion  from  the  remission  of  sins.  This  was  followed 
by  a  visitation  from  the  Apostles  Peter,  James  and  John, 
who  conferred  upon  Joseph  and  Oliver  the  Melchisedek 
Priesthood,  which  gave  them  i>ower  to  bestow  the  Holy 
Ghost  by  the  laying  on  of  hands.  Thus  equipi>ed  with 
the  Bible  and  Book  of  Mormon  as  their  doctrinal  stand- 
ards, supplemented  by  immediate  and  continuous  revela- 
tion, this  twain— known  as  the  First  and  Secoad  Elders  of 
the  Church — with  others  ordained  by  them,  went  forth, 
preaching  amid  the  hottest  persecution  the  restored

Gospel,  healing  the  sick,  casting  out  devils,  and  otherwise 
'  'confirming  the  words  with  signs  following. ' '  Their  first 
converts  were  made  from  Western  and  Southern  New 
York  and  Northern  Pennsylvania. 

The  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter-day  Saints- 
nicknamed  "Mormons"  for  their  belief  in  the  Book  of 
Mormon — was  organized  at  Fayette,  Seneca  County,  New 
York,  on  the  6th  of  April,  1830.  Within  a  year  it  moved 
bodily  to  Kirkland,  Ohio,  which  became  during  the  next 
seven  years  its  headquarters.  In  1831  it  established  a 
colony  in  Jackson  County,  Missouri,  the  site  of  the  future 
City  of  Zion,  the  New  Jerusalem,  which  the  Saints,  who 
are  of  Israel,  mostly  of  the  seed  of  Ephraim,  gathered 
out  from  all  nations,  expect  to  rear  in  fulfillment  of 
prophesy,  preparatory  to  the  second  coming  of  the  Savior. 

Persecution  followed  them  both  to  Ohio  and  Missouri. 
In  the  fall  of  1833  they  were  expelled  with  fire  and  sword 
from  Jackson  County,  and  early  in  1838  the  main  body  of 
the  Church,  having  lost  some  of  its  prominent  members 
by  apostasy,  abandoned  Kirtland,  with  the  Temple  they 
had  built  there,  and  concentrated,  twelve  to  fifteen  thou- 
sand strong,  in  and  around  Caldwell  County,  Missouri, 
where  they  founded  Far  West  and  other  flourishing  settle- 
ments. There  trouble  again  arose,  caused  by  religious 
and  political  differences  between  them  and  the  older 


settlers,  and  in  the  fall  and  winter  succeed- 
ing, the  Jackson  County  tragedy  was  re- 
peated on  a  larger  scale.  Under  an  order 
issued  by  Governor  Lilburn  W.  Boggs  and 
executed  t»y  Major-general  John  B.  Clark 
and  others,  in  command  of  an  overwhelm- 
ing force  of  militia,  the  entire  Mormon 
community,  after  many  of  them  had  been 
killed  in  battle  and  in  massacre,  their  lead- 
ers imprisoned,  their  homes  devastated, 
were  driven  in  mid-winter  from  the  confines 
of  the  State. 

K  indly  received  by  the  people  of  Illinois, 
the  expatriated  community  settled  on  the 
east  shore  of  the  Mississippi,  in  Hancock 
County,  where  they  founded  their  beautiful 
city  of  Nauvoo,  surrounded  by  other  Mor- 
mon settlements,  both  in  Illinois  and  Iowa. 
There  they  remained  for  seven  years,  in- 

\  »:i:<>ri'  <>F  i "IT.  INDIANS.  creasing  rapidly  by  immigration  from  the 

States,  Canada  and  Great  Britain,  until  they  aggregated  twenty  thousand  souls.  Religious  and  political 
animosity  still  purMied  them,  and  finally  on  the  27th  of  June,  1844,  their  Prophet,  Joseph  Smith,  and  his  brother 
Hyrum.  tin-  Patriarch  of  the  Church,  who  had  surrendered  for  trial  on  a  trumphed  up  charge  of  treason  and 
riot,  were  murdered  in  Carthage  jail  by  an  anti-Mormon  mob,  while  under  the  pledged  protection  of  the  Governor 
of  the  State.  Justice  was  never  done  upon  the  murderers. 


tinder  Brigham  Young,  the  successor 
to  Joseph  Smith,  the  Mormon  people,  in 
February,  1846,  began  their  famous  exodus 
from  Illinois,  leaving  Nauvoo  with,  its 
Temple,  which  had  just  been  dedicated,  to 
be  pillaged  and  desecrated  by  their  enemies. 
From  their  scattered  camps  in  Iowa,  and  on 
the  Missouri,  in  the  summer  of  that  year, 
went  forth  at  the  call  of  their  countiy  the 
Mormon  Battalion,  500  strong,  to  assist  the 
United  States  in  its  war  against  Mexico.  In 
the  spring  of  1847  the  Mormon  Pioneers 
(one  hundred  and  forty-three  men,  three 
women  and  two  children)  lead  by  Brigham 
Young  in  person,  leaving  the  main  body  of 
the  people  encamped  upon  the  frontier, 
started  upon  their  historic  journey  to  the 
Rocky  Mountains.  Traversing  the  track- 
less plains  and  snow-clad  mountains  lying

American  Desert,  on  the  24th  of  July  they  entered  Salt  Lake  Valley,  where,  in  the  midst  of  desolation,  surrounded 
by  savage  tribes  and  suffering  untold  hardships  and  privations,  they  founded  Salt  Lake  City,  the  metropolis  of  the 
Inter-Mountain  region;  the  parent  of  more  than  two  hundred  cities,  towns  and  villages,  that  owe  their  existence 
to  the  Mormon  people  and  their  great  leader,  Brigham  Young.  The  residue  of  the  migrating  Church  followed  the 
Pioneers  to  their  new-found  home  in  the  wilderness ;  thenceforth  the  gathering  place  of  the  Mormon  people.

nation  by  the  Treaty  of  Guadalu]**  Hidalgo. 
The  early  settlers  established  the  provis-

(  '.  m»Tess   for    admission    into  the  Union. 
Their  prayer  for  Statehood  was  denied,  but 
on  the  9th  of  September,    1850,   Congress 
organized    the    Territory    of    Utah,     and

Though  no  longer  Governor  of  Utah, 
Brigham  Young  remained  President  of  the 
Mormon  Church,  and  as  such  was  the  real 
power  in  the  land.  Under  his  wise  and 
vigorous  administration  the  Church  was 
built  up  rapidly,  the  whole  surrounding 
region  explored  and  colonized,  irrigation 
established,  arid  lands  reclaimed,  cities  and 
towns  laid  out,  Indian  tribes  placated,  local 
and  foreign  missions  opened,  immigration 
encouraged,  and  the  Territory  from  north

on  the  shores  of  the  Great  Salt  Lake  formed 
nucleus  for  Western  civilization,  and 


a 


made  possible  the  colonization   of  the  vast 
inter-mountain  plateau  known  as  the  Great 
Basin.     Idaho,  Montana,  the  Dakotas,  Col- 
THE  GARDO  HOUSE    (Residence  of  -President  John  Taylor).  orado,   Wyoming,   Nevada  (once   a  part  of 

Utah)  Arizona  and  New  Mexico  owe  their  existence  as  organized  commonwealths  to  Utah  and  her  founders.  It  is 
claimed  that  a  Mormon  colony  gave  California  her  first  newspaper— antedating  by  three  years  the  Deserst  News, 
the  pioneer  journal  of  the  Rocky  Mountain  region— and  it  was  the  picks  and  shovles  of  Mormon  Battalion  boys, 
honorably  discharged  after  faithfully  serving  their  country,  that  brought  to  light  the  auriferous  wealth  of  the  far- 
famed  Golden  State.  For  twenty  years  after  the  settlement  of  Salt  Lake  Valley,  Utah  was  comparatively  isolated, 


working  out  her  destiny  amid  the  many  un- 
propitious  elements  by  which  she  was  sur- 
rounded; battling  with  crickets,  grasshop- 
pers and  drouth,  and  now  and  theu  taking 
up  arms  to  protect  her  children  from  pillage 
and  massacre  by  the  marauding  and  men-i- 
less  savage.  An  occasional  emigrant  train 
passing  on  to  the  coast — a  visitation  more 
frequent  after  the  discovery  of  gold  in 
California — with  the  regular  fall  arrival  of 
Mormon  immigrants  and  trains  of  merchan- 
dise from  the  frontier,  was  about  all  there 
was  to  remind  the  dwellers  of  these 
mountain  fastnesses — "a  thousand  miles 
from  anywhere" — of  the  civilization  they 
had  left  behind.  In  the  ox-team  and  hand- 
cart days  it  took  news  three  months  to 
travel  to  Salt  Lake  City  from  the  Missouri 
River,  and  almost  the  same  length  of  time 
BHHMIAM  YOUNG'S  GRAVK.  from  the  sparsely  settled  Pacific  Coast. 

Tlic  pony  express  and  overland  stage  coach  subsequently  did  much  to  abridge  time  and  distance,  but  it  was  not 
until  isfii  thai  A  transcontinental  telegraph  line  brought  Utah  into  immediate  communication  with  the  outside 
world,  and  not  until  ISi'.'.i  that  the  shriek  of  the  locomotive  broke  the  stillness  of  the  mountain  solitudes  and  threw 
open  the  peaceful  settlements  of  the  Saints  to  the  encroachments  of  modern  civilization. 

A  new  era  then  dawned  upon  Utah,  an  era  of  electricity  and  steam;  telegraph  lines  were  constructed  all  over 


the  Terrtory,  railroads  built  in  various  directions,  and  the  channels  of  trade  widened,  extended  and  multiplied. 
In  all  these  enterprises  President  Brigham  Young  was  the  leading  spirit  and  most  conspicuous  figure.  The 
Deseret  Telegraph  line,  built  by  the  Mormon  people,  under  his  direction,  preceded  by  two  and  a  half  years  the  ad- 
vent of  the  Pacific  Railroad.  This  period  saw  the  inception  of  that  mammoth  business  concern,  Ziou's  Co-opera- 
tive Mercantile  Institution,  organized  by  the  Mormon  leader  to  unite  and  consolidate  the  commercial  intei'ests  of 
his  people.  It  also  witnessed  the  reopening  of  the  mines,  which,  uncovered  by  General  P.  E.  Conner  and  other  uou- 
Mormons  in  1863-4,  had  languished  for  lack  of  capital.  Sampling  mills  and  smelters  were  now  erected,  ore  aud 
bullion  shipped,  and  Utah,  ever  at  the  van  in  agriculture,  began  forging  to  the  fore  as  a  great  mining  common- 
wealth. With  the  influx  of  non-Mormon  population  consequent  upon  these  developments,  came  the  organization 
of  rival  political  parties,  the  first  that  Utah  had  known,  upon  lines  running  parallel  with  religious  and  other  differ- 
ences between  Mormons  and  Gentiles.  By  these  names  were  the  two  classes  in  the  community  commonly  called, 
though  they  were  known  politically  as  the  People's  and  the  Liberal  parties.  The  Salt  Lake  Herald  and  Salt  Lake 
Tribune,  both  great  newspapers,  the  former  independent,  the  latter  anti-Mormon  in  tone,  came  into  being  as  suc- 
cessors to  other  journalistic  rivals  of  the  Deseret  JYews;  and  non-Mormon  churches,  of  which  there  had. been  a  few 
in  Utah  from  the  beginning,  were  now  rapidly  multiplied.  Against  these  powerful  agents,  mostly  working  with  a 
more  or  less  united  purpose  for  its  disintegration,  Mormonism,  strongly  entrenched,  continued  to  hold  its  own. 
In  the  midst  of  the  changes  thus  inaugurated,  Brigham  Young,  the  founder  of  Utah,  died  at  Salt  Lake  City, 
August  29th,  1877. 

As  early  as  1862  Congress  had  legislated  upon  the  subject  of  polygamy,  the  plural  marriage  system  of  the 
Saints,  practiced  by  Joseph  Smith  and  other  Mormon  leaders  at  Nauvoo,  but  never  publicly  promulgated  by  the 
Church  until  1852.  Never  at  any  time  did  more  than  two  per  cent  of  the  Mormon  people  practice  plural  marriage, 
though  all  or  most  of  them  believed  the  principal  to  be  divine.  Mormon  polygamy  was  nothing  akin  to  the  poly- 
gamy of  the  Turks  or  other  Oriental  peoples  of  the  present  time.  It  was  the  Patriarchal  order  of  marriage,  practiced 
by  Abraham,  Jacob,  Moses  and  other  ancient  worthies,  and  was  one  of  the  principles  of  the  Gospel  as  restored 
through  the  Prophet  Joseph  Smith.  To  the  Saints  it  was  the  key  to  the  celestial  kingdom — the  highest  degree  of 


!.<)<. AN.     MANTI     AM)    ST.    t;K<  »U<  ;K    TKM  I'l.Ks. 


heavenly  glory — where  family  relationships 
formed  on  earth  according  to  divine  law, 
are  perpetuated.  The  anti-polygamy  act 
was  not  enforced,  and  for  twenty  years  re- 
mained a  dead  letter,  the  Mormons  regard- 
ing it  as  unconstitutional,  since  it  infringed 
upon  a  principle  of  their  religion,  and  many 
non-Mormons,  including  men  high  in  the 
councils  of  the  nation  sharing  the  same 
view.  It  was  declared  constitutional  by 
the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  in 
January,  1879,  a  test  case — that  of  the 
United  States  vs.  George  Reynolds — having 
been  submitted  in  order  to  draw  forth  a 
decision  upon  the  subject  from  that  august 
tribunal. 

In  March,   1882,  Congress  enacted  the 
so-called   Edmunds  Law,  under    which  an 
anti-polygamy  crusade  was  inaugurated  in 
THE  JEWISH  SYNAGOGUE,  (Salt  Lake  City. )  Utah,    Idaho  and  Arizona,    wherever    the 

Saints  had  settlements.  The  Edmunds  Law,  like  its  predecessor,  made  punishable  by  fine  and  imprisonment  the 
marrying  of  plural  wives,  but  went  further  than  the  statute  of  1862  in  that  it  not  only  inflicted  heavier  penalties 
for  that  offense,  but  also  made  punishable,  as  unlawful  cohabitation,  the  living  with  plural  wives;  in  fact,  the 
mere  acknowledgement  of  a  plural  wife  was  construed  and  punished  by  the  Federal  courts  as  "unlawful  cohabita- 
tion." During  the  progress  of  the  crusade,  in  March,  1887,  the  Edmunds  Act  was  supplanted  by  the  Edmunds- 


Tucker  Law,  under  which  most  «>f  the  pro- 
perty of  the  Mormon  Church  was  forfeited 
and  escheated  to  the  Government.  Upon 
the  sufferings  inflicted  during  th;it  period 
of  trouble  no  citizen  of  Utah  loves  to  dwell. 
From  1884  to  1890  the  Territory  was  raked 
from  one  end  to  the  other  as  with  a  sharp- 
toothed  harrow,  and  the  Church  made  to 
w'eep  bitter  and  even  bloody  te;u-s.  Hordes 
of  deputy  marshals,  tunifd  loo-i-  ii|>on  the 
helpless  community,  hunted  their  victims 
with  the  assiduity  of  sleuth-hounds.  Men 
and  woflaen  were  agonized  to  an  extent 
almost  unbearable.  One  man— a  Mormon 
citizen  of  high  repute — was  shot  and  killed 
by  an  over-zealous  deputy,  who.  indicted 
and  tried  for  manslaughter,  was  acquitted 
in  the  District  Court.  Delicate  women,

ST.  MAKV'S  (  ATHEDRAL  (CATHOLIC).  died  from  terror,  exposure  and  exhaustion, 

01  •  siiuVring  injuries  from  which  they  never  recovered.  The  exchequer  of  the  Federal  courts  was  swollen  to 
repletion  from  fines  collected  in  polygamous  cases,  and  the  penitentiaries  were  crowded  with  convicts  for  con- 
srience  sake.  Nearly  a  thousand  convictions  under  the  anti-polygamy  statutes  testify  to  the  rigor  of  the  crusade 
and  the  sincerity  of  the  Mormon  people  in  the  crucial  test  of  their  integrity.  Scarcely  a  man,  and  not  one  woman 
—for  the  women  and  children  were  imprisoned  also — weakened  under  the  terrible  strain  brought  to  bear  by  the 


iron  hand  of  the  Government  through  its 
local  representatives,  and  purchased  immun- 
ity from  persecution  by  a  "promise  to 
obey. ' '  Among  those  who  went  to  prison 
rather  than  be  false  to  their  convictions 
and  renounce  a  principle  of  their  religion, 
were  Lorenzo  Snow,  George  Q.  Cannon  and 
Francis  M.  Lyman,  three  of  the  Twelve 
Apostles  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Latter-day  Saints.  Hundreds  of  other 
Elders — among  the  most  reputable  in  the 
community — were  fined  and  imprisoned  for 
like  cause,  and  nearly  all  the  Church  lead- 
ers were  driven  into  exile.  The  settlements 
of  the  Saints  in  Mexico  and  Canada  were 
greatly  strengthened  by  emigrations  from 
Utah  and  Arizona  during  this  troubled 
period.  President  John  Taylor,  who  had 
succeeded  Brigham  Young  as  the  head  of 
ST.  PAUL'S  CATHEDRAL  (EPISCOPAL).  the  Church,  died  in  exile,  July  25th,  1887, 

a  victim  of  the  crusade,  a  martyr  to  his  religious  convictions. 

With  the  advent  into  power  of  his  successor,  President  Wilford  Woodruff,  came  in  September,  1890,  the 
Manifesto,  discontinuing  the  practice  of  plural  marriage.  The  people  were  told  by  their  leader  that  the  Lord 
accepted  of  their  sacrifices,  and  desired  them  now  to  submit  to  the  law  of  the  land.  They  obeyed.  An  era  of 
good  feeling  ensued.  Mormons  and  Gentiles  affiliated  socially  and  politically  and  were  friendly  as  never  before. 


Local  political  lines,  upon  which  a  lon^and 
bitter  fight  had  been  waged,  were  obliter- 
ated, and  the  citizens  generally,  regardless 
of  past  predjudiees  and  affiliations,  divided 
on  national  party  lines  as  Democrats  and 
Republicans.  Presidents  Harrison  and 
Cleveland,  in  successive  proclamation  >>. 
pardoned  all  polyjramists,  and  the  Mormon 
Church  property,  confiscated  under  the 
operations  of  the  Edmunds-Tucker  Law, 
was  restored  by  act  of  Congress  to  its  right- 
ful owner.  Utah,  a  Territory  siuce  1850, 
was  on  January  4,  18%,  admitted  into  the 
Union  as  a  State. 

The  present  leader  of  the  Latter-day 
Saints  is  Lorenzo  Snow,  who  on  September 
13th,  1898,  eleven  days  after  the  death  of 
Wilford  Woodruff,  succeeded  him  as  Presi- 
dent and  as  Prophet,  Seer  and  Revelator. 
FIRST  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH.  Eighty-seven  years  of  age,  but  with  power 

of  mind  and  body  unimpaired,  he  has  taken  hold  of  the  helm  of  the  Church  with  a  strong  and  steady  hand.  A 
natural  financier,  his  first  moves  have  been  largely  of  a  financial  character,  to  relieve  the  Church  of  the  heavy 
burden  under  which  it  has  labored  ever  since  its  finances  were  crippled  by  the  confiscation  of  its  property  under 
the  Edmunds-Tucker  Act.  President  Suow  is  also  a  man  of  fine  spiritual  perceptions,  of  literary  tastes  and

in  the  Presidency  of  the  Church,  are 
George  Q.  Cannon  and  Joseph  F.  Smith, 
both  able  and  distinguished  men. 

The    prospects    of     Mormonism    were 
never  brighter  than  now.     Its  devotees  in 
all  the  world  number  about  three  hundred 
thousand    souls,    mostly    dwelling    in    the 
"Stakes  of  Zion,"  of  which  there  are  forty- 
five  located  in  the  Rocky  Mountain  region, 
from  Canada  to  Mexico.     The  outside  mis- 
sions number  fourteen,  and  comprise  most 
of  the  countries  of  the  globe.     The  Mor- 
mon Church  is  recognized  as  the  most  com- 
plete and  effective  in  existence,  surpassing 
even  that  of  the  powerful  Roman  Catholic 
Church.     Without  entering  into  a  detailed 
description  of  it,  suffice  it  to  say  that  at  the 
head  of  the  Church  are  three  High  Priests, 
constituting  the  First  Presidency,  and  next 
in    authority    to    these    are     the     Twelve 
the  Patriarch  and  the  Presiding  Bishopric — the 
of  the  Church  under  the   direction  of  the   First 
three  High  Priests,   who,  with   a  High  Council  of 
the  General  Authorities.     A  Stake — which  term  in

cons, officers  in  the  Aaronic  Priesthood,  as  High  Presto, 
Seventies  and  Elders  are  officers  in  the  Melchesidek 
Priesthood.  The  High  Councils  are  the  appellate  courts 
<  >f  t  lie  Church,  the  Bishops'  courts  being  the  lower  tribun- 
als. The  extreme  penalty  imposed  by  these  courts  is 
excommunication.  The  present  personnel  of  the  r'ir>t 
Presidency  has  been  given ;  that  of  the  Twelve  Apostles 
is  as  follows:  Brigham  Young,  Francis  M.  Lyman,  John 
Henry  Smith,  George  Teasdale,  Heber  J.  Grant,  John  W. 
Tylor,  Marriner  W.  Merrill,  Anthon  H.  Lund,  Mathias 
F.  Cowley,  Abraham  O.  Woodruff,  Rudger  Clawson  and 
Reed  Smoot. 

Utah  has  had  fifteen  Governors,  all  but  two  of  them 
non-Mormons  and  all  but  one  appointed  by  the  President 
of  the  United  States.  The  solitary  exception  is  the 
present  Governor,  Heber  M.  Wells,  son  of  General 
Daniel  II.  Wells,  deceased,  formerly  a  leader  among  tin- 
Latter-day  Saints.  Governor  Wells  is  the  first  Mormon 
Executive  since  Governor  Young.  He  was  elected  in 
November,  1895,  and  installed  in  January,  1896;  he  was 
re-elected  November,  1900.  The  other  State  offices  are 
about  equally  divided  between  the  two  classes  of  the 
community.  The  population  of  the  State  has  alw:i\> 
been  overwhelmingly  Mormon. 


THE   SWEDISH   LUTHERAN   CHURCH. 


Among  the  many  points  of  interest  in  and  around  the 
metropolis  of  Mormondom  are  the  Temple,  the  Tabernacle, 
the  Lion  and  Bee-Hive  Houses,  the  Guardo  House,  the  Eagle 
Gate  and  the  Theatre;  all  projected  by  Brigham  Young,  and 
completed,  with  one  exception,  during  his  lifetime.  The 
exception  is  the  Temple — the  sixth  one  erected  by  the  Saints 
—begun  in  April,  1853,  and  finished  and  dedicated  in  April, 
1893.  The  Tabernacle  has  an  auditorium  capable  of  holding 
ten  thousand  people,  and  contains  one  of  the  finest  organs  in 
the  world;  the  Tabernacle  Choir,  a  famous  body  of  singers, 
carried  off  the  second  prize  in  a  choral  contest  at  the  World's 
Fair  in  1893.  The  Lion  and  Bee-Hive  Houses  were  President 
Young's  residences,  and  the  Eagle  Gate  stands  on  the  spot 
that  was  once  the  entrance  to  his  premises.  Other  objects  of 
note  are  the  Assembly  Hall,  the  City  and  County  Building,  the 
Saltair  Pavilion,  the  Garfield  Bathing  Resort,  Fort  Douglas, 
the  Pioneer  Monument,  and  last,  but  not  least,  the  grave  of 
Brigham  Young.  Fort  Douglas,  on  the  hill  east  of  the  city, 
was  founded  by  General  P.  E.  Conner,  commanding  the  Cali- 
fornia and  Nevada  Volunteers,  in  October,  1862.  Saltair  on 
the  Lake  shore,  erected  in  1893  by  Mormon  capital,  is  a  most 
beautiful  specimen  of  architecture,  and  without  doubt  the 
most  magnificent  bathing  pavilion  on  the  face  of  the  globe. 
Another  attraction  and  pleasure  resort,  quite  as  unique,  is  the 
Salt  Palace,  Aside  from  these,  Utah  has  many  other 


notable  structures,  such  as  the  State  University  at  Salt  Lake  City  and  branch  at  Cedar,  the  Agricultural  College 
ami  Brigham  Young  College  at  Logan,  the  Brigham  Young  Academy  at  Provo  and  branch  at  Fort  Cameron  (Beaver), 
the  St.  George,  Logan  and  Manti  Temples,  and  the  numerous  handsome  church  and  school  edifices  that  dot  the 
landscape  in  every  direction.  The  free  school  system  of  Salt  Lake  City  is  one  of  the  finest  in  the  Western  <-,  .untry. 
Utah  with  her  wonderful  climate,  her  unlimited  resources  and  countless  attractions,  offers  the  gr«-;it<->i  induce- 
ments to  capital  seeking  investment  and  to  people  in  quest  of  homes.

A  Typical  Mormon  Hymn. 


By    Eliza    R.    Snow. 


O  mv  Father,  thou  that  dwellest 

In  the  high  and  glorious  place! 
When  shall  I  regain  thy  presence, 

And  again  behold  thv  face? 
In  thy  holy  habitation, 

Did  my  spirit  once  reside? 
In  my  first  primeval  childhood, 

Was  I  nurtured  near  thy  side. 

For  a  wise  and  glorious  purpose 

Thou  hast  placed  me  here  on  earth, 
And  withheld  the  recollection 

Of  my  former  friends  and  birth. 
Yet  ofttimes  a  secret  something 

\Vlii>]»T('<l,  -you're  a  stranger  here;*' 
And  I  felt  that  I  had  wandered 

From  a  more  exalted  sphere. 


I  had  learned  to  call  thee  Father, 

Through  thy  Spirit  from  on  high; 
But,  until  the  Key  of  Knowledge 

Was  restored,  I  knew  not  why. 
In  the  heavens  are  parents  single? 

No,  the  thought  makes  reason  stare! 
Truth  is  reason;  truth  eternal 

Tells  me  I've  a  mother  there. 

When  I  leave  this  frail  existence, 

When  I  lay  this  mortal  by, 
Father,  Mother,  may  I  meet  you 

In  your  royal  courts  on  high? 
Then,  at  length,  when  I've  completed 

All  you  sent  me  forth  to  do, 
With  your  mutual  approbation 

Let  me  come  and  dwell  with  you.

NOTEWORTHY  INSTITUTIONS. 


The   University  of   Utah. 

The  University  of  Utah  (the  State  University)  now  comprises  three  schools:  the  School  of  Arts  and  Sciences, 
the  State  School  of  Mines,  and  the  State  Normal  School.  To  meet  the  demands  of  students  from  different  parts 
of  the  State  where  there  are  no  high  schools,  a  Preparatory  department  is  maintained. 

The  University  was  established  in  1850  by  legislative  enactment,  but  existed  in  most  part  only  in  name 
until  1869,  when  Dr.  John  R.  Park  was  chosen  as  its  President.  Since  1869  it  has  grown  gradually  until  now  it  is 
the  foremost  educational  institution  in  the  whole  intermountain  region. 

It  is  located  adjacent  to  Salt  Lake  City,  on  its  beautiful  new  site  on  the  east  bench  which  overlooks  the  City, 
Valley,  and  the  Great  Salt  Lake.  With  the  snow-capped  mountains  inclosing  the  valley,  the  view  as  seen  from 
the  University  site  is  made  one  of  the  grandest  in  the  United  States. 

The  cut  on  the  opposite  page  shows  the  Library  Building,  one  of  the  three  large  buildings  completed  in  the 
fall  of  1900.  There  are  two  more  now  under  way  of  construction.  In  the  fall  of  the  present  year,  1901,  there 
will  be  ready  for  occupancy,  therefore,  five  fine  new  buildings,  all  well  lighted,  heated  and  ventilated;  namely,  the 
Library,  Physical  Science  or  Engineering,  the  Museum  or  School  of  Mines,  the  Normal,  and  Shop  Buildings. 

All  the  buildings  except  the  one  for  shops  are  three  stories  high,  and  from  120  to  140  feet  long,  and  from  62 
to  68  feet  wide.  Each  one  is  especially  constructed  to  suit  the  particular  kind  of  work  for  which  it  is  to  be  used. 

The  Physical  Science  Building  is  essentially  a  laboratory  building,  for  it  is  used  for  work  in  Chemistry,  Metal- 
lurgy, Physics,  and  Mechanical  Drawing.  The  arrangement  and  equipment  of  this  building  are  of  the  most 
modern  character  and  indeed  unique. 


LIBRARY   BUILDING   UNIVERSITY  OF  UTAH. 


The  Museum  Building  is  arranged  for  class  and  laboratory  work  in  Geology,  Mineralogy,  Botanj^,  Zoology, 
and  Physiology,  with  laboratories  and  class  rooms  and  working  museums,  all  carefully  fitted  up  for  the  purpose  for 
which  they  are  to  be  used.  This  building  also  has  a  large,  fine  auditorium  and  a  gymnasium.  The  auditorium  is 
to  be  used  for  a  study  room  and  also  for  all  kinds  of  students'  gatherings.  The  gymnasium  is  fitted  up  with  the 
various  kinds  of  apparatus  used  in  physical  development  and  supplied  with  shower  baths  and  other  conveniences,  in 
every  way  suitable  to  fulfill  the  needs  of  gymnastic  work. 

The  Shop  Building  is  so  contructed  as  to  make  it  convenient  and  most  suitable  in  every  way  for  all  sorts  of 
work  with  the  best  kinds  of  machinery,  for  carpentry  and  pattern  making,  forging,  casting  and  moulding  and

The  Library  and  Normal  Buildings  are  constructed  especially  for  the  work  to  be  accomplished  in  them,  and

Salt  Lake  Business  College. 


One  of  the  most  important  institutions  of  the  State  is  the  Salt  Lake  Business  College,  the  oldest,  the 
largest,  and  most  successful  busiress  college  in  the  West.  It  was  established  in  1888,  and  for  several  years  had  a 
steady  growth.  In  1899,  when  Prof.  Joseph  Nelson  became  its  President,  the  college  put  on  its  seven  league 
boots.  The  next  year  it  had  grown  to  such  an  extent  that  it  had  to  seek  a  new  home.  It  found  one  in  the  Zion's 
Savings  Bank  Building,  where  it  is  at  present  located.  The  fact  that  there  was  not  a  vacant  seat  in  the  College 
this  year  speaks  volumes  for  the  Institution.  It  has  a  corps  of  thorough,  practical  business  teachers,  men  who 
have  achieved  high  honors  in  their  respective  departments. 

During  the  thirteen  years  of  its  existence  the  Salt  Lake  Business  College  has  turned  out  thousands  of 
young  men  and  women,  who  are  making  their  mark  in  the  business  world.  It  took  them  in  in  a  rough  state;  it 


/.ION  S  SAVIXCS  15ANK  ^  SALT  LAKE   BUSINESS  COLLEGE 


polished  them  and  sent  them  out  a  credit  to  themselves, 
their  employees  and  the  institution  itself. 

After  taking  a  course  in  the  Salt  Lake  Business  Col- 
lege, a  young  man  can  go  out  and  make  his  way  in  the 
world;  he  requires  no  bolstering  up;  he  can  stand  alone; 
his  success  is  assured. 

This  Institution  furnishes  hundreds  of  young  people 
with  pleasant  and  profitable  positions  every  year.  It  is  a 
credit  to  the  State.

Zion's  Savings  Bank. 

Zion's  Savings  Bank  &  Trust  Company  is  one  of  the 
historic  institutions  of  our  State.  Founded  on  August  (>th, 
1873,  by  Brigham  Young  and  his  associates,  it  has  ever 
been  prominently  before  the  people  of  the  State,  and  while 
its  growth  at  first  was  slow,  it  has  been  constant  and 
steady. 

At  the  present  time  it  has  opened  27,770  accounts, 
with  aggregate  deposits  of  $2,682,605.30.  These  accounts 
are  opened  by  all  classes  and  quite  frequently  by  children 
and  married  women,  who,  under  the  laws  of  Utah,  have 
a  right  to  open  accounts  in  their  own  names  subject  to 
their  own  order  without  the  interference  of  any  other 
person. 


OQUIRRH  SCHOOL   BUILDING. 


The  smallest  amount  received  is  $1.00, 
and  no  limit  is  placed  as  to  larger 
amounts  to  be  received,  although  deposits 
in  excess  of  §5,000  are  only  received  upon 
special  arrangement  made  with  the  Presi- 
dent or  Cashier  of  the  bank. 

Many  deposits  are  received  from  other 
lands  and  the  institution  although  small 
compared  with  some  of  the  great  financial 
institutions  of  the  money-centers,  has 
an  international  reputation  for  stability 
and  fair  dealing. 

The  bank  building,  which  is  shown  here- 
with, is  located  at  No.  1  Main  Street,  at  the 
South-east  intersection  of  East  Temple 
and  South  Temple  Streets, and  the  statue  of 
Brigham  Young,  surmounting  the  Pioneer 
Monument,  is  placed  to  face  toward  the 
Bank  and  the  outstretched  arm  of  the 
great  pioneer  leader  to  point  to  its  doors.

Saint  Hark's  Hospital 

St.  Mark's  Hospital  was  first  established  in  1872,    and  was  the  first    hospital  in  the   State.     Through  the 
earnest  work  and  energy  of  its  founders  it  soon  became  a  powerful  factor  in  this  community  and  a  great  blessing  to 


the  mining  camps  around.  It  was  incor- 
porated in  1878  and  continued  its'"uHeful 
work  in  the  building  at  the  corner  of  Fifth 
East  and  Third  South  streets  until  the 
autumn  of  IS'.t.;.  when  these  buildings  were 
abandoned  and  the  main  building  of  the 
present  hospital  was  occupied. 

The  Hospital  is  plc.-isantly  located  at 
the  north  of  the  city,  and  commands  a 
beautiful  view  of  the  surrounding  moun- 
tains and  valley. 

The  building  has  two  wings,  each  four 
stories  high,  and  contains  several  large 
wards  besides  a  great  number  of  large,com- 
modious  private  rooms,  oj>erating  room, 
laboratory,  offices,  etc.,  and  an  K pis. -opal 
chapel.  The  most  modern  surgical  appli- 
ances and  appartus  are  in  use,  and  the  most 
noted  physicians  of  the  Stale  in  attendance. 
JACKSON  SCHOOL.  An  X-Ray  machine  is  in  the  laboratory  and 

frequently  called  into  service.     The  Hamilton  wing  was  opened  in  1897  and  named  after  Dr.  Hamilton.

The  Salt  Lake  Private  Hospital. 

A  little  over  a  year  ago  the  Salt  Lake  Private  Hospital  was  established  for  the  accommodation  of  that  large 
class  of  persons  who  dread  the  removal  from  home  life  and  comforts  necessitated  by  a  stay  in  tin-  laryvr  hospitals.

This  institution  offers  all  the  comforts 
of  a  home  with  all  the  advantages  of  a 
hospital.  Patients  from  outside  the  city 
will  find  it  especially  convenient.  It  is 
justly  popular  with  lying-in  women.  Pat- 
rons are  allowed  their  choice  of  physicians. 

The  hospital  is  located  at  352  East 
First  South  Street,  in  a  quiet  residence 
district  only  three  and  a  half  blocks  from 
Main  Street.  A  physician  is  resident  at  the 
hospital  and  skilled  nurses  are  constantly 
in  attendance.  All  surgical  and  non-con- 
tagious medical  affections  are  received.

St,  Mary's  Academy, 

This  Institution,  established  in  1875,  is 
under  the  direction  of  the   Sisters  of  the 
Holy  Cross, from  the  well-known  and  justily 
celebrated    St.    Mary's    Academy,     Notre 
LOWELL  SCHOOL.  Dame,    Indiana,    where    they   spend   many 

years  in  preparing  themselves  for  their  great  work,  the  proper  education  of  youth.  It  is  located  in  Salt  Lake  City; 
is  easy  of  access  by  rail  from  the  North,  South,  East  and  West.  The  object  of  the  Academy  is  to  prepare  young 
ladies  for  any  sphere  of  life  to  which  they  may  be  called ;  to  give  a  thorough  knowledge  of  letters,  science  and 
art,  based  upon  a  solid  moral  and  Christian  education.  As  true  education  consists  in  the  harmonious  devetope- 
ment'of  the  moral,  intellectual  and  physical  qualities,  a  system  that  ignores_or  .neglects  any  of  these  elements  of

the  triple  culture  of  the  heart,  mind  and 
bodyjmust  be  radically~'defective.  Hence, 
the  care  taken  at  St.  Mary's  to  strengthen 
the  heart  as  well  as  the  mind,  the  soul  as 
well  as  the  body — to  prepare  young  ladies 
to  not  only  grace  society  with  their  accom- 
plishments but  honor  and  edify  it  by  their 
virtues. 

The  Academy  buildings,  of  brick,  with 
stone  trimmings,  are  spacious,  comfortable 
and  commodious — admirably  adapted,  in 
every  respect,  to  the  object  in  view  at  their 
erection.  Modern  improvemements  in  light, 
heat,  ventilation  and  for  the  safety  of  the 
pupils  are  employed.  There  are  extensive 
and  beautiful  recreation  grounds  provided. 

The  course  of  studies  in  the  various 
departments  is  as  extensive  and  thorough 
as  long  experience  in  teaching  and  a  large 
and  capable  staff  of  teachers  can  make  it. 
The  best  systems  of  instruction  are  adopted,  and  the  best  authors  selected  for  each  branch,  including  art  and  music.

THE  SALT  PALACE,  Salt  Lake  City, 


F.  H  ,  Auerbach's  Grave. 

One  of  the  grandest  finished  graves  in  the 
West  is  that  of  the  late  Fred  H.  Auerbach,  which 
is  located  in  the  Jewish  Cemetery  on  the  south 
side  of  the  City  Cemetery,  and  a  cut  of  which 
accompanies  this  sketch.  In  life  Mr.  Auerbach 
was  perhaps  the  most  popular  Hebrew  in  Utah. 
He  made  a  record  for  philanthropy  in  his  public 
life  that  his  friends  are  justly  proud  of,  for  while 
he  was  building  up  an  immense  fortune  by  his 
business  tact  and  industry,  he  was  giving  to  pub- 
lic charities  and  needy  individuals  with  a  liberal- 
ity indicative  of  the  good  Samaritan.  Mr.  Auer- 
bach's name  will  be  long  and  favorably  remem- 
bered in  Utah.  The  grave  lot  is  surrounded  by  a 
beautifully  designed  iron  fence,  and  a  massive 
marble  stone  and  a  marble  seat  are  placed  at  the

other  State  in  the  Union  contains  within  its  borders  such  a  vari-

ent and  self -supplying.  If  intercourse  were  totally  cut  off  from 
the  outside,  there  are  very  few  of  the  necessaries  or  luxuries  of 
life  that  could  not  be  produced  within  the  boundaries' of  Utah  iu

sustaining  a  very  large  population,  and  affording  a  variety  of 
scenery  that  makes  the  whole  State  singularly  attractive  and  a 
charming  place  of  abode.  A  greater  portion  of  its  area  consti-

realized  by  a  study  of  her  endless  variety  of  ag- 
ricultural and  mineral  products.  Although  it  is 
but  fifty  years  since  settlement  began  in  Utah, 
the  extraordinary  scope  of  our  possibilities  in 
mining,  agriculture,  industry, in  ranch  and  range 
production,  and  internal  commerce  already  de- 
veloped, proves  this  beyond  question ;  and  much 
of  what  is  now  imported  might  easily  be  pro- 
duced in  our  midst,  should  it  become  necessary. 
With  every  variety  _ 
of  climate  whica 
is  generally  salu- 
brious and  agree- 
able, there  are  the 
valleys  for  the  far- 
mer, the  gardiner 


and  the  fruitgrower;  the  foot  hill  slopes  and  terraces  for  the  sheep  raiser;  the  moun- 
tains for  the  miner;  the  scenery  and  hunt  ing  among  the  mountains,  the  water  fowl 
and  grouse  of  the  prairies  for  the  pleasure  seeker;  the  thermal  springs,  the  Salt  Lake 
air  and  bathing  for  tin-  invalid,  and  plenty  of  opportunity  for  enterprising  men. 

The  people  of  Utah  are  fraternal,  progressive  and  well  abreast  of  the  Ameri- 
can tide  of  advancement;  in  each  town  and  hamlet  there  is  a  marked  degree  of  am- 
bition towards  refinement  and  intellectual  developement, — there  is  not  a  settlement 
without  its  literary  society,— and  in  music,  painting  oratory,  social  culture  and 

in  general  educational  matters,  the  people  rank  with  any  Western  commonwealth.
